Audible's new proposed royalty structure is a slap in the face to authors, readers who care about them, and exactly opposite of what they promised Brandon Sanderson barely a year ago.

It is an attempt to seize a monopoly by punishing authors until they agree to exclusivity, which would drive Audible's competitors out of the market.

I literally just finished Isles of the Emberdark today. Loved how Cosmere-aware it felt. Got me excited about the eventual endgame of the Cosmere.

Stormlight Archive has replaced The Wheel of Time as my favorite series, I think. WoT will always have a soft spot in my heart as my first massive hard-magic-system fantasy epic, though.

Which is your favorite?
